There is no way a person who has an investment will have zero pressure or worry when he sees the bitcoin price go from $123k to $111k. Even if you bought it at $50k and have taken a profit a couple of times, and are a long way away from going into a loss. In human nature, we always want the most profit. If all things go south and we lose, then we will take consolation in the fact that we didn't lose everything, but since we haven't lost, we want the most of it.

How do you guys feel during a time like this?

It's how you deal with that worry or fear that matters, not the feeling itself. It's very normal to feel worried, anxious, and all sorts of emotions. We're humans, not robots, and it's in our nature, but don't make decisions out of fear, uncertainty or doubt.
Currently, I have a small amount of Bitcoin I bought when the Bitcoin price was at $86k or thereabouts for a specific purpose. I planned to use it for something at the end of the year or sell it if it gets to $150k before then. Seeing bitcoin go from over $120k to $111k is worrying, to be honest, but I'm not going to panic and sell it off just so I don't lose. I have a plan, and I have to stick to my plan. So yeah, the emotions are normal, but we have to control the emotions and make well-analysed decisions.
